Yes, border wall construction is actively ongoing as of early 2026, with both federal and state-led efforts continuing across multiple U.S.-Mexico border regions.
Federal Construction under the Trump administration has resumed using funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which allocated $46.5 billion for border security. As of late 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) awarded $4.5 billion in new contracts for approximately 100 miles of wall, marking the first major funding push of Trump’s second term. Projects are underway in Arizona, New Mexico, and California, including nearly 10 miles near San Diego and 27 miles in Santa Cruz County. CBP refers to the system as a "Smart Wall," combining physical barriers with surveillance technology.
Texas Border Wall construction is also progressing independently. The Texas Facilities Commission (TFC) reported 66.4 miles completed as of June 18, 2025, with active work in Cameron, Starr, Zapata, Webb, Maverick, and Val Verde Counties. Texas aims to complete at least 100 miles by the end of 2026, funded by state appropriations and private donations.
Despite legal challenges and environmental concerns—particularly in ecologically sensitive areas like Arizona’s San Rafael Valley—construction continues with minimal transparency. The administration's long-term goal is to expand the wall to over 1,400 miles, more than doubling current coverage.

You are not "hearing anything" because, when you do "hear about it or anything" it is "selective outrage from the usual suspects". The border has had a major increase in activity (on our side) to secure it and keep it locked down since last year. More money for it was in the Big Beautiful bill that, just went into effect this year. There has been casual announcements about it, if they make it too loud, the usual suspects will be rioting down at the border towns again :P TDS and all, ya know..

Up to about 777 miles and growing.
On the 365 achievements list, the WH wrote they are actively building and mentioned El Paso as one of the locations.

I just read an article (maybe on here?) about the newfangled floats being installed across the rivers to deter illegals. They can't be climbed.
Yeah I saw the float thing yesterday.
